Shih Tzu : : Male (neutered) : : Adult : : Small
Speedy is a playful and very affectionate five year old male Shih Tzu. His foster Mom says Speedy follows her everywhere and is very happy-go-lucky; his tail wags non-stop. He is learning quickly how fun it is to get to be a dog.
Speedy is crate-trained and is doing very well with his house-training. He has mastered going up stairs but still needs some work going down. Speedy loves his foster siblings and would do best in a home with a resident dog to play with and have as a role model and companion. Although he quickly warms to other dogs, he is slow to warm to humans which is understandable given his background. However within a week, he warmed up to his foster mom and was wanting to shower her with lots of licks and love. He has learned quickly to love toys and has such a playful and fun attitude and personality. He will make someone a wonderful companion pet for many years to come!

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they generally require extra time to settle in and acclimate. Skills like house training, leash walking, and mastering stairs may require a little extra practice. However, with understanding, patience, and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
